Transcendence

This movie. I can't even. What the fuck? They got so many things right, then screwed it up completely.

Right:

Singularity.

Nanotech.

Quantum computing.

Unlikely:

Mind uploading.

Emotional imperatives.

Wrong:

The Virus. I mean, seriously, a single virus that the AI knew was coming? Especially when they demonstrated that he rewrote and rearranged his own code after the upload. It also wiped out all the systems, not just the AI. Considering that he was benevolent he could have saved all those systems.

Time for one, but not both? Argh.

Nanotech. When the rest of the world didn't have universal self-replicating nanotech, it is basically impervious to everything. Especially crappy kinetic bombardment. Never mind that the materials that can be manufactured via such technology would have been way more difficult to destroy.

Solar panels. With the kind of advancements the AI made I would have hoped to see some change in his energy generation methods. Nothing apparent there.

Computing. He had nanotech, but didn't bother with computronium? There was also no apparent change in his hardware.

Singularity. Didn't happen, apparently. The AI was developmentally challenged. Seriously, he had access to everything ever written about psychology, rearing and fiction and couldn't divine emotional responses or even read them correctly? Bloody idiot writers.

Soul and other metaphysical crap. Seriously. Why?

The entertainment value was greatly reduced by all the crap. I suggest you watch it but turn your neocortex off. Try to forget everything you know about the subject, reduce your cynicism and skepticism levels as much as you can. Then you just might be able to enjoy it.
